hey, we think the same. It's always harden, harden, harden I see in NBA top story headline. BTW, it's the same every team though. Always the one with high points get the title. I just hope there's one game I see lin. Haven't see it in a while. do we sound like a Harden hater??hm....to some people maybe we are.

just got in, checked the box score. Seems like harden is having a bad game offensively but still effective in drawing foul which is okay. And Lin having a nice overall game. Looks like this back to back game fatigue is no longer an issue. In a way that's the benefit of hard schedule early on against SAS and OKC other lesser teams seems easy even at back to back and on the road.

At worst Jlin D is mediocre because he over helps on D but i think its because of the lack of info on opposing players. With more scouting reports he'll know when not to leave a guy in the 3point area.

Harden turned it on to full ball hog mode with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Can't blame him since he is the leading Rockets scorer and it is also hard to defend him vs Lin. Asik did not show up this game and thus Greg Smith was used more. He lost the rebound battle to Greg Smith. TD started to chuck up balls when he knew he was going to get pulled by the coaches soon for Lin. Pat Pat played well tonight and Morris didn't.

And of course Sampson was devastated that they did not bench Lin in the 4th quarter. He would have done it if he was still coaching the Rockets. Trust me guys when I say it, McHale is having more confidence in Lin and thus is letting him play through his mistakes. He would have been easily pulled for throwing those two football type passes.

Mchale definitely start to see more light in lin. Lin will win his heart ultimately. Mchale won't get any humble pg like lin in the league. Lin will always give him respect even how harsh he is to lin.

Its called tough love sista. He is critcal of Lin because he wants Lin to do well and learn from his mistakes. He doesn't want Lin to get a bloated head by keep on complimenting him. Winning cures all ailments.

No doubt this team can reach the playoff but for The Rockets to have any chance pass the first round of the playoff, they must get that 4th or 5th seed and hoping to get the Grizz for their 1st round matchup

Yeah, what a tight game, the Rockets looked like the better team ... but the Cavs got a lot of rebounds and 2nd chance points. The Rockets big men got dominated in the paint even when Anderson Varajao isn't playing.G. Smith and Patterson needs to take boxing out seriously.
